<p>pros and cons</p>
<p>a campus is a 100% must IMO!
you are going to school to learn but, you are also going for a lot of other things to! a nice campus with all or a majority of students living on campus is amazing! you may want to have ceratin things close by…a target, a couple of resturants, a hospital(hopefully never using it) and an airport less then 20-30 minutes drive. if you want to play city slicker after you graduate, get a job in a big city (or go to grad school in a big city if you choose) </p>
<p>amazing campuses
hendrix
muhleneberg
haverford
duke (minus the split campus)
rollins
u of miami
davidson college
st olaf
carleton
and many many others too!</p>
<p>some above average campuses IMO U of hartford (minus the flooding)
nova southeastern in davie,fl
butler university</p>
<p>Having attended both, I’ve always preferred city campuses. </p>
<p>Unlike the above poster, I don’t seethe advantage of a majority of students living on campus …? Are you friends wialmond majority of all people on campus and you have this strange need to control how close to you they live…? </p>
<p>I, personally, like being able to walk outside of a dorm and have anything I could possibly want within a few block walking distance. I also prefer the city lifestyle - more bustling, moving, fast-paced, etc. </p>
<p>Internships with major corporations, government offices, NGOs, supranational organizations, etc. are all easily accessible and you hold such internships during the summer, during the year, or both.</p>
<p>it is true a school in nyc is a great pick if you are from a wealthy family, hang out at clubs till 3 in the morning , spend summers in the hamptons and ski aspen. I was talking about average folks. the ones who do not have a job lined up after graduation. students who want to learn a lot and get a full college Experience. (my opin.)</p>
<p>There is no right or wrong answer,you should find an college where you feel comfortable and happy. Both a traditional and a city campus can provide a great experiences. My S really didn’t like NYU because there was no defined campus – he didn’t even apply, but he has friends who absolutely loved it there. </p>
<p>And you don’t always have to choose – there are some urban schools which do have traditional campuses such as Columbia and Fordham and there are also schools like Tufts which are close to major cities if those types of options interest you.</p>
<p>CAMPUS!!! ive toured city universities and imo it seems like you cant really see the boundaries of the campus. also if your a fan of scenery ( trees, shrubs…etc) go campus. Also city schools are more congested for obvious reasons, so you gotta go in knowing you will probably see and interact with a large amount of ppl with no association to the schools (not saying this is good or bad just telling you the situation) . </p>
<p>The answer to the question is your own personal opinion. I didn’t hate city universities, but they just weren’t what i was looking for.</p>
<p>you have your whole life to live in a city, but only 4 years to live at a traditional college campus</p>
<p>“it is true a school in nyc is a great pick if you are from a wealthy family, hang out at clubs till 3 in the morning , spend summers in the hamptons and ski aspen. I was talking about average fols”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Good job stereotyping. </p>
<p>You don’t need to be from a wealthy family to enjoy going to school in a city.</p>
